Abstract

The stair nosing (1) of this invention was developed for the installation of laminate flooring on stair steps. This stair molding has an elongated, rigid base member (2) for installation of the stair nosing (1) on the leading edge of a stair step and an elongated, flexible tread member (3) covering and interlocked with the rigid base member (2). The base member (2) has a nose portion with a rounded front surface for defining a leading edge on a stair step and planar back surfaces that intersect at right angles. Flanges extend laterally from and on the same plane as the back surfaces of the nose portion for positioning the base portion on the tread and riser of a stair step.
